We need a sense of the oneness of the 7 billion human beings alive today. When I meet people, I don't think about being different from them, about being Tibetan, Buddhist or even the Dalai Lama. I only think about being a human being. We all share the potential for positive and negative emotions, yet one of our special qualities is our human mind, our intelligence. If we use it well we'll be successful and happy.

Dalai LamaLooking at the pattern of our existence from birth to death, we can see the way in which we are fundamentally nurtured by other's affection.
Dalai LamaA lot of problems we are facing, essentially, man made problem. Own creation. Not due to lack of intelligence.
